Converting a VirtualBox VM to a VMWare Workstation 7.0.1 VM

To successfully convert a VirtualBox (latest version) vm to VMWare Workstation 7.0.1 vm one should do the following:
1. In VirtualBox export vm as ovf virtual appliance without manifest file (don't forget to check 'ovf version 0.9').
2. Ensure that VMWare will understand newly generated ovf file. To do it:
2.1 Edit ovf file so 'rasd' elements are sorted in the following order:

  <Item>
    <rasd:Caption>Some caption</rasd:Caption>
    <rasd:Description>Some description</rasd:Description>
    <rasd:InstanceId>0</rasd:InstanceId>
    <rasd:ResourceType>1</rasd:ResourceType>
    <rasd:ResourceSubType>2</rasd:ResourceSubType>
  </Item>

2.2 Ensure that rasd:Parent elements precede rasd:AdressOnParent elements.
2.3 Change the extension of original vmdk disk files to something like '~vmdk'.
2.4 Check that conversion is possible using VMWare OVF Tool with the following command:

"C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware OVF Tool\ovftool.exe" --noDisks "ODD - Source.ovf" "ODD - Source.vmx"

You should see the following output:

Opening OVF source: ODD - Source.ovf
Opening VMX target: ODD - Source.vmx
Writing VMX file: ODD - Source.vmx
Transfer Completed
Warning:
 - No manifest file found.
 - No manifest entry found for: 'ODD - Source-disk1.vmdk'.
 - No manifest entry found for: 'ODD - Source-disk2.vmdk'.
Completed successfully

If not, the tool will report error lines. So correct errors and rerun.
2.5 Delete vmdk files generated by ovftool and change back the extension of original files.

Pitiful but OVF Tool alone cannot properly convert ovf to vmx. Disk partitions will remain read only as made by VirtualBox export process.
3. So the last thing to do is to use VMWare Converter 4.0.1 (can be downloaded following links in this post) to convert ovf to vmx changing disks types to 2 GB Split pre-allocated.
